It's about frelling time!!

I remember this being bandied about not long after Band of Brothers was on.

Is there any confirmation of whether the same creative team is involved in the production?

Didn't one of the Characters in BoB say he was of to the Pacific in one of the last scenes ? I am sure the rumours started just after that

winters applied for a transfer to a pacific unit immediately when things in europe wound down. in teh last epsidoe news came through that the japs had surrendered, so he didn't go.

nah, i've been reading for years that this thing owuld be ready for hbo "next year" ImDB listing it as post production is a bit more realistic though. We'll see

re: The Pacific (US pace contains spoilers)
I do have one minor worry about this upcoming series and that is where the band of brothers was about the war with Germany which we take greater interest in will this be too American biased on their ''great'' battles and will it kick off with the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor (that could be a fantastic way to get us hooked from episode 1)

re: The Pacific (US pace contains spoilers)
Ah, what the duck! Was hoping it would show on the beeb like BoB was. Now I will have to acquire them off my auntie in America and hope the rip is decent quality. I seriously hope they don't dally on the blu-ray release.

To answer the question above, this has pretty much the same production department as brothers, a much heftier budget too. Should be as good and possibly better than BoB.

Sky ****ing movies!!!!!

Not happy at all with that. I'm not adding another huge chunk of money to my sub to only watch this.I'll wait for the Bluray. It'll be a lot cheaper.

As a movie subscriber then yay, advert and dog free

I didn't agree with the Clone Wars being on Movies but I did understand it but this presentation is really suited to the ad/dog free nature of the premium channel, of course I would also agree with everyone who would say that SKY1 itself should look to improve it's image by being ad/dog free.

As for the series itself then the budget really does put into perspective the sheer strength of PAY TV in the huge US market.

The Pacific makers of band of brothers |march 2010|
Thats rite they have been making this for years now and each ep cost more than doing a film.

There is not much on this at the moment. But its been dated for march 2010

Story line we have so far


The Pacific is based primarily on two memoirs of U.S. Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie.[3] The series will tell the stories of the two authors and Marine John Basilone, as the war against the Empire of Japan rages.
Given the literary sources mentioned above, the series will feature well-known battles involving the 1st Marine Division, such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, as well as Basilone's involvement in the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Here is the main site
HBO: The Pacific

And here is the 1st trailer

YouTube - The Pacific Trailer (HBO)


I loved band of brothers i have the tin dvd and the blu ray boxset its an all time classic and i can see this just being as EPIC
